Wilson Sam

Wilson Sam (1945-2002) was a Navajo tribal policeman and the mentor of Jim Chee. Sam once worked as a sheep herder and for the road department, but he became a high-ranking policeman in the tribal police. In 2002, he was hit in the head with a shovel, dragged to the end of Chilchinbito Canyon in Arizona, and pushed over the edge, and his body was found by his nephew. He was murdered on the orders of Bahe Yellowhorse, who sought to cover up his medical fraud scheme.
